The former APC chairman said his party would not fold its arms and watch Obaseki and the PDP violently steal the peoples’ mandate.

“If they want violence, we will give them violence,” Oshiomhole said.

Oshiomhole further explained that, among other things, he turned against his successor because the governor has not met the expectations of Edo people and regretted that he worked with Obaseki in 2016 without asking for his certificate.

Meanwhile, Governor Obaseki has accused APC of importing Police from Abuja to intimidate and harass his supporters ahead of the September 19 governorship election.
